When I Grow Up...

I'm pretty sure somewhere back in high school I never received the memo that once you graduate you either go away to a big time partying University, go to cosmetology school, marry someone in the military or have a baby. 

I almost went to Michigan State because of an ex. Everyone always assumed I would go into cosmetology because my mom is a hairstylist and a salon owner, but that's probably the only career that my mom didn't want me to go into. I've never wanted to be a cosmetologist. My mom is fabulous at what she does, but it takes a lot of work to get to where she's at. I wasn't interested in the whole marriage right after high school thing. And I'm way to selfish to have a baby anytime soon.

But don't worry, I have a plan.

When I Grow Up....

I will call this home.




I will have a "women cave" like this.

If they make it in animal print, there are no other options.




I will own at least 2 large dogs.



This will be my best friend and we'll hang out on the beach and drink all day. Everyday. 



IF for some reason I end up getting married. I will have a red dress. Not this one. But, a red one.



If I settle down.. I will always be the life of the party.



My children will be super sassy.. they'll get it from their momma.




Most of all, I just want to be happy.

      I already sent you an e-mail but I wanted to clarify it just incase anyone gets offended by the first few things I said. There isn't anything wrong with any of those things. Most of the people from around here choose to do one of the things I talk about but for all the wrong reasons and that's the only reason I kind of poked fun at it.

    Absolutely love everything about this.. I moved 10 hours away from home to Michigan because I didn't want to be like everyone else in my hometown. Good for you and your "woman cave"

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
